Oneof the latest trend（趋势） in American Childcare is Chinese au pairs. Au Pair in Stamford, for example, hasgot increasing numbers of request for Chinese au pairs from aero to around4,000 since 2004. And that’s true all across the country.

“Ithought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age” JosephStocke, the managing director of s company, says of his 2-year old son. “Iwould at least like to give him thechance to use the language in the future,” After only six months of being caredby 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinesedaily expressions, his dad says. zxxk

LiDrake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesotawith an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair fromChina.She didn’t want her children to miss out on their roots.” Because I am Chinese,my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触) the language and culture.” shesays.

“Stayingwith a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in aclassroom,” says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of Children.”But parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely toproduce wonders. Complete masterydemands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”

Thepopularity if au pairs from china has been strengthened by the increasingnumbers of American parents who want their children who want their children tolearn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continueto rise in the next few years.学分网http:// www.xuefen.com.cn整理
